GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK Jan. 4.-Government bonds
dull and steady.
There was q general decline in the
stock market, msiuly due to the proba'
bi ity of the passage of the interstate
commerce bill tomorrow. London came
lower this morning, and some selling was
INDUCED in by the foreign element earlv
in the day. There were several
slight rallies at different periods,
when the pressure was momentarly
removed, the market at such times being
quiet, while the declines were invariably
accompanied by increased activity. The
opening WAS decidedly weak, the declines
from last evenings final figures ranging
up to T. r chmond and West Point was
conspicuous exception to the general
rule, opening up / per cent. There We're
further losses in the early trading on an
active business. A rally quickly followed
but failed in most cases to regain the
early losses. A period Of dullnesS and
comparative frmness ensued, but an at
tack upon coal shares and certain of the
Vanderbilts carried the entire market
down again, the decline being checked IN
the last hour. The best prices were gen.
orally those of the opening, while, the
lowest were recorded in the early part
Of the last hour. The sales were
395 7lS shares. Every thing is lower.
